Plane Crash New Addington

A Memory of Croydon.

Only Just found this site it brings back many memories.I used to live at 49 Castle hill Crescent on the prefab estate,at New Addington with my mum, dad Laura and Patrick Bint also my younger brother John . Can anyone remember the aircraft that came down in fields, which are where King Henry Drive.is now, at that time it was all fields ,near to a farm,it would have been around the 1950's. I used to attend Wolsey primary school at that time, and one could see the plane from the school playground. My father and I ran to the site when the plane came down.It would appear that no persons from the plane were injured and all the passengers looked like they were in naval uniform, I seemed remember that they were foreign, the plane was later taken apart and taken away on lorries.I have been unable to find any trace of the crash as having been recorded. does anybody remember It. Many thanks Gary Bint.
